How should the US reduce crime

Postby Islamic Essarn » Tue May 31, 2022 2:13 pm

I think we need to have a civilized discussion of what we should do about the crime in this country.
In my opinion the best way to reduce crime is to fund welfare and give out money to those at risk of committing a crime because of the fact that crime is caused by poverty and we can only prevent it by ending that issue.

Crime is clearly caused by poverty as evidenced that during the pandemic poverty rates rose and crime rates did as well.

Basically this, redistribute wealth to the lower classes in the form of liquid currency and subsidized goods and services.

Exactly, I think the bigger question is where the money needs to come from.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but your opening posts need a lot more substance to help anchor the conversation and keep the thread from derailing in multiple directions. Please review the First Stop for the General Forum.
